Analyst: Games to get cheaper (From Yahoo.com)

Could the days of the $60 video game be numbered?Maybe so, according to statements made this week by video game industry analysts. Stores that cut video game prices over the holiday season might keep their lower prices permanently, Todd Greenwald, an analyst at Signal Hill, said in a release this week. As he put it, "To us, the biggest risk facing all publishers is the demise of $59.99 pricing for front-line 360 and PS3 software titles."

But we still might not be seeing lower prices on brand-new games. "Keep in mind there is a difference between price cuts on older, catalog titles that were released 3-4 months ago, and new, front-line AAA releases. While we may see plenty of more cuts on past holiday titles like Mirror's Edge, Madden, Guitar Hero, Saints Row 2, Prince of Persia, etc, we believe this is old news. What is far more important is where new releases are priced, and how that pricing is holding up," Greenwald said.

If you're a Wii gamer, though, you could be forgiven for assuming that this had already happened. A report from analytical firm EEDAR published this week indicates that median Wii game prices had already declined from $49.99 in 2007 to a present level of $39.99.

Although lower prices might seem like good news for consumers, Greenwald sounds a warning note. Lower prices would eat into publishers' profit margins, he says, as "development and publishing costs would stay virtually flat, while sales would take a 20% hit."

Some things are not meant to be forever, you have to stop and let go when things aren’t going right and everything you did is unappreciated. Remember: It is wiser to be alone but happy than with somebody who do nothing while you do everything.

Rivers don’t drink the water they carry, Trees don’t eat the fruit they bear, Clouds don’t bathe in the rain they produce, We are meant to give, even if we get nothing from it. Measuring life by what others do may disappoint us, But measuring life by what we do will make life meaningful.

Always remember that you can never find a perfect partner to love you the way you wanted, only a person who’s willing to love you more than what you are, someone who’ll accept you for what you can and for what you can’t be. And that’s even better than perfect.

When you’ve found a reason to walk away. Never look back, just keep walking. Its better to get lost moving on than to get stacked and stranded broken.

The best thing you can do for someone is to just exist, to be there when they suddenly realize that they need you right then.

Sometimes the only thing people see is what you did. When in fact, they should be looking at. WHY you did it.

One night I talked to my heart, “do you hate me?” I asked My heart said “no, why are you asking me that?” “because your always hurting me” I said Then my heart said “me? Did I hurt you? How?” Then tears fell from my eyes. Coz your always make me fall for a wrong person
